Prague teenager attempting to recover from 5th and 6th-degree burns

PRAGUE, Okla. – A Prague teenager is fighting for his life after being badly burned from an explosion at a brush fire.

Family members say 14-year-old Dalton Henry has burned brush on his family’s property all his life and knew what he was doing.

Jennifer Appicello, Henry’s cousin, says, “You buy 50 acres of land and there’s trees and there’s brush and there’s trash. And you build a big pit, throw it all in there and catch it on fire and just burn it.”
